So if it's all Bush's fault, does that mean that the feds now have to come up with a disaster preparedness plan for EVERY city in America?
They'll need to look at the infrastructure of every city to identify weak points that may fail in any contingency. No big deal - I'm sure there are plenty of folks in DC intimately familiar with Prado Dam, the topography of Corona (my hometown), and every detail of every other city in the US. Shouldn't be too much work, or too costly, eh?
Or... Perhaps state and municipal gov'ts should be doing the assessing, planning and calculating? Then notify the feds and the public of their disaster plans and what roles the feds and the public might be required to play. That seems to make more sense.
Folks around here are all suddenly concerned about "the big one" again. And the local media is more than happy to fan the flames. They sure love having the public careen from one imaginary (or impending ) crisis to another, don't they?
